Scheduled to start Tuesday O'Brien will be recalled to start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The start will be the 26-year-old's major-league debut. He doesn't project as anything more than a back-end starter and has been unremarkable for Triple-A Louisville this season, posting a 4.55 RA across 23 outings. Control is his main issue, as he's walked 11.2 percent of opposing batters, something his merely above-average 24.7 percent strikeout rate hasn't been enough to offset.

Sent to minors O'Brien was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Impact O'Brien's contract was selected in November but he's yet to make his big-league debut. He owns a strong 2.83 ERA in 232 minor-league innings but has yet to reach Triple-A, so he'll head there before making a serious push for a roster spot.
